Search By Name function is NOT WORKING.

Before reading further, PLEASE take note of this: I have ALREADY installed the "Search By Name" add-on, and it DOES NOT WORK. As such, PLEASE do not suggest that add-on as a fix to my issue, since that add-on IS my issue.
I was using Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to upgrade to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, the Search by Name function has stopped working, i.e.: I used to be able to type "yahoo" into the address bar and go straight to yahoo; now, when I type anything that is not a complete URL into the address bar, it goes to allied.com. I have already gone into about:config and changed keyword:URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and have also installed the Search By Name add-on. Neither of these work. Please help me.

Does that setting of the keyword.URL pref stay?

I recently upgraded from Firefox ESR version 10 to version 17.0.7, and the Serch by Name function no longer works.

Thank you for your reply. However, had you read my issue in full, you'd have noticed that I have ALREADY downloaded and installed the "Browse By Name" add-on, and it DID NOT work.

Hello paola t & welcome to the forums
I need help I just bough a macbook 13 inch
It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

I just bought an iPhone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the screen to the left, the search box appears but when I type what I want to search for, there is no action. Please help.

Try this...

Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

Hello!
I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
What can I do about it ?

It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Mixed case name search in Unload Wizard is not working (EA3 - 3rd beta)

I believe the mixed case name search in Unload Wizard is not working (EA3 - 3rd beta)
I have bunch of triggers (and other db objects as well) with mixed case names such as zMY_TRIGGERu and can not find those triggers in the "Lookup" during the Unload Wizard (Tools menu --> Database Unload option).
I also found out that the search is limited to 500 objects and if you have more than 500 constraints for example only 500 of them are displayed by the "Lookup"
- is there any configuration/setting parameter (which I already checked the Preferences for DDL/Unload option and didn't see anything) for eliminating the 500 limit ? is it hard coded ?
- any trick to do the mixed case search in the Unload Wizard ? (I tried using "z"%"u" but that did not help - I used "z"% and also "z" and checked the % check box, ...)
Edited by: zaferaktan on Jan 25, 2011 5:06 PM

Thank you Joyce
I have already tried to apply a filter at the object navigator. It works with Triggers, tables, etc but NOT with the packages.
You can not unload both the package and the package body for "multiple" packages (you can use save package and package body option for a single package) from the Navigator.
Unfortunately, currently the only way in SqlDeveloper (3-EA3) to unload the package and the package body of multiple packages is to use the "Database Unload" menu option.
Therefore, for unloading more than one package/package body - the filter option you suggested won't work (and is not working).
I hope this will be fixed soon before version 3 released officially.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

hi eric. many thanks.
i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
does that question make sense?
i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

Search menu function is not working

Hi
Search menu function is not working in one of my HRMS 9.1 (PT: 8.52.09 application.
Verity installed and executed the build registry search index aswell.
Please let me know if I miss something on configuring the search menu function.
Thanks
Soundappan

Personally I did not have to make any psappsrv.cfg changes for this particular 9.1 env or any other changes that I can remember. Is PS_HOME = PS_CFG_HOME though?
If you didn't specifically set PS_CFG_HOME to PS_HOME it defaults to something like $HOME/psft and the files would need to be there instead.
If you run psadmin what's it show as the Config Home?
If I unset PS_CFG_HOME i get
PSADMIN -- Tools Release: 8.52.07
Copyright (c) 1996, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
PeopleSoft Server Administration
Config Home: /home/psoft/psft/pt/8.52And the files would need to be there rather than $PS_HOME/data/....
Now you could override that in your psappsrv.cfg file with
EMPLOYEE=PS_HOME/data/search PS_HOME I dont think can be used here as a variable... it needs to be the full path. the location here must lead directly to the EMPLOYEE directory
In 8.52 there are also some alternatives to this older style above.
See this peoplebook for 8.52 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28394_01/pt852pbh1/eng/psbooks/tsvt/book.htm?File=tsvt/htm/tsvt10.htm%23g037ee99c9453fb39_ef90c_10c791ddc07_102b for details.
In the past I've used shares or nfs mounts to have the process scheduler write directly to the appserver. But you could check out the new search server option too.
Let me know.

Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

Hello,
I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
(search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
What to do?
Thanks,
C.

Anyone? Any ideas?

Autofill function is not working, 'window' sticks through it not functional!

Copy Function is Not Working properly In Order Management

Hi,
Description-
When an order with remnant model is copied, it copied only the topple model line and they include items attached to the top model line. It doesn’t copy the
option class lines and the option item lines (unshipped and shipped).
Example-
Enter an order with for pd-pto-model. See order#21231.The ordered quantities and structure of the model is shown below:
pd-pto-model 5 qty
pd-std-item1 (included item) 5 qty
pd-pto-oc (option class) 5 qty
pd-std-item1 (included item with rfr checked) 5 qty
pd-std-item2 (option item with rfr checked) 5 qty
pd-std-item3 (option item) 5 qty
Booked the order and pick relased the order. While shipconfirming only shipped 5 qty of pd-std-item3 and staged the rest. On querying the sales order, the line status is seen correctly as follows:
pd-pto-model Closed
pd-std-item1 (included item) Picked
pd-pto-oc (option class) Closed
pd-std-item1 (included item with rfr checked) Picked
pd-std-item2 (option item with rfr checked) Picked
pd-std-item3 (option item) Partially Interfaced to receivables
Copied this order from the order header. The new order# is 21232.On querying the order, I see only 2 lines as follows:pd-pto-model.
Anyone can help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Chinna

It sounds to me that you've been lucky for 20 years then.
Local POD variables on the stack that aren't explicitly initialized can contain any value. Here's what I see in your app with dbx

WebHelp search generated by RoboHelp 8 not working in Safari 5.0

Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but have been lurking for a while, and have benefitted greatly from answers found here. Thanks!
I use RoboHelp 8 HTML - recently upgraded from X5 - to generate WebHelp for a cross-browser compatible web app. I generate using the DHTML > Pure HTML option, and Safari is using the DHTML version. I use 'traditional style (no skin),' 'Optimize speed for: Local PC or Intranet'.
The Help seems to work fine in Safari for Windows, but now with the recent update to Safari 5.0, the Search functionality is not working at all. The search tab displays properly, but upon entering text and pressing Enter, nothing happens. It works in all other major browsers, except Opera which gets the Pure HTML version, and there I hid the search tab all together because it's unacceptable in that state.
The only customization I've done is swap out the tab images, and insert a little css to hide (display:none;) the "limit search results to __" option as it was getting cut off in every browser, and I couldn't figure out why, or how to fix it.
Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks for your anticipated help!

Hi there
Your mention of:
I still think this deserves attention, and would like to hear what others think.
Seems to imply you feel I was attempting to make you shrug it off. I wasn't. I was attempting to coax you (and anyone else) to submit the Bug Report. You have no idea how critical this aspect is. I see you made no mention of doing that so I'm assuming you ignored the suggestion.
Many folks have the grossly mistaken belief that the Bug Report/Wish Form just sends information to a circular file where it is never acted upon or seen again and as a result, you have had your say and it makes you feel better for getting it off your chest. But these things are actually reviewed by the development team. Each and every one of them. You may not get a personal response for each one you submit, but sometimes you do!
As for changing the verbiage, click File > Project Settings > General and look at the LNG File tab of the ensuing dialog. You are able to influence all manner of verbiage in that little gem.
Cheers... Rick

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.
